New Friends

I thought that it was going to be hard coming back to school seeing as most of my friends moved on and left Idaho while I was on suspension. I was really used to how things were. So much about the campus has changed too, and the way that the school is run. Some of the changes I knew were coming, cause I sat in a meeting with Pres. Clarke and a member of the CES Board to see the new building plans, and be one of the first to hear of the new Learning Model. (I used to be the student Competitive Sport Director, after a long time in the program and as a participant I climbed that ladder.) But anyway, some would say that I am a social butterfly, so coming back to Idaho and starting fresh in the friend department wasnt what I was looking forward too. When I first started the semester I was in a complex called Mountain Pines (but there is a long story for later), and after about 10 days I moved out, and back to my favorite place to live, TUSCANY (where I have lived most my time here in Idaho). I remember walking in to met my new roomies with Skyler and Lauren and I was a little scared. But honestly they are by far the best roommates that I have ever had. Let me tell you about Haley. She is from Texas/ New Mexico, and my first thought of her was that she was a CRAZY. There are no words to describe the decor in her room, the things she says, her personality, hows shes the RS president, and everything about her. She is however, so lively and full of spunk, and is going to make an incredible missionary. (she and Rheba have similar qualities) You cant help but LOVE Haley. I wont blog on the rest of my roomies, but they are incredible too! I can write so many stories on them and the things that we have been through this past semester. Like all the late nights we have spent talking, and talking, and talking. In the hallway, the bathroom, the living room, our neighbors living room (cause we are friends with them too), sidewalking, everywhere. I have lost more sleep due to late nights, and early classes. But I would take it back for anything. I am so grateful for new friends I made this semester.

Here is a picture, from one night they decided to do my make up like a girl in a magazine. Stephanie (from the Fresno area) is on the left, Terren (from Michigan) in the middle, and then me (from the fabulous Elk Grove, CA! ) on the right. We are in the car in this picture, about to go to Horkleys!
